Well done Sam! I have a display case like it, my grandad made me it during the 2020 lock down, out of an old cupboard in his kitchen. It is now fitted to the wall above my desk and contains all of my tank engines, anything from a pair of 4575 tanks to a rapido J70!
I'm very pleased with this for what I paid! Mine has to be quite tight unfortunately, as that spreads the load a bit more on my wall! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Nice cabinet, but I thought you loved Miles far too much to shut him up in it. I'd feel better if you took Miles and the other steamies out of the cabinet, and replaced them with stinky diesels. Your diesels should be shut up in there, not Miles and your 3D printed steamies. I'd be very upset if Miles never ran on your railway again. If I have to, I'll pester you to let him out. Plus, Bullman should be in there, his magical and chaotic appearances are freaking me out. LET MILES OUT!
Ahh yes sorry about that Kelly - I do love Miles - he's actually safe from the elements in there, so it was an act of love to protect him! He will return to the railway... but he's old and tired... it'll have to be at his own pace, and on his own say-so if he does! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
When i saw the title of this video i instantly thought "WAIT IS THIS REAL!" but then i discovered it was just him building a cabinet. Still, its a nice display though......
Brill vid mate! Edit: If you're ever up here in Worcestershire - visit Bewdley station - there's a great second hand model shop where I work - let me know and I can probably do you a discount!! :)
Sam, when you asked if we had any suggestions to what locomotive should you put inside the cabinet my mind instantly shot to the Heljan Tango locomotive for it was in your experiment for running a little track underwater. 😆
Well done Sam. Just the inspiration that I needed. I now have quite a few locomotives and not enough Loco sheds. So I have a dedicated drawer, but a cabinet would be so much better. I will check out ordering one on line. Thanks.
Does Miles still work? I was going to say, if he does, and you hook him up to his solar coach, wouldn't the lighting you use be enough to power him? I don't imagine he would take off like a rocket, but maybe just move a little? Not enough to notice, but You'll be filming one day, and be startled straight out of slippers by the random sound of Miles pushing Pete to the his oblivion on the carpet below...
Ironic that a bloke who spends his time complaining about how few examples of trains survived Beecham, has a bunch of restoration to do to save his oddities from the ravages of time/scrappers, 🤣🤣🤣
I got one of these cabinets and they look very nice, I added 4 more shelves to the cabinet to add more things on it, you might want to add more if you make more amazing models! Did you forget the N gauge van?
Good job, Sam! Many years ago I bought a similar but smaller pre-made wall case for my HO locomotives. It came with flangeways cut into the shelves thus eliminating the need for track. It's a great way to keep them visible but clean and out of danger. I hope you enjoy your museum. Perhaps someday you can add suitable plaques and find a docent to conduct the tours. ;->
Congrats on the new display Sam...Very Nice!...keep up the good work...Now your most important/precious locomotives & rolling stock can stay safe. Cheers mate and have a good one!
Great stuff, although if i were you i’d cut some smaller pieces of track to fill the shelves, just looks a bit neater, and doesn’t mess with my OCD! 😂😂😂
Loved the multiple camera angles during the build phase! 😂 As for other things for the cabinet I think the Tart class, The Ugliest Tank Engine and of course the Martin Mart Martinsons Dapol Mogul Model Model would make good additions.
Personally I'd like to see either the old Bachmann Union Pacific Smoking 2-6-2 in there (because what museum doesn't have a strange lemon?) and/or that old diecast GWR steamer you used in an April Fool's vid two years ago. As a matter of fact I'm currently building my own museum (but its an actual operating layout) housing some of the older brass locomotives from the 60's I acquired.
Decent video Sam for me don’t have any display cases and just keep the in boxes if the model has one and if it doesn’t I put them into a regular box with bubble wrap.
When the Railway Budget be like: “The one wheels cars.” “1-2 inches long of Steam Engines.” Too “BLOODY SMOL!” “The Wonkiest Railway go to…” “This Guy..”
Hola buenas tardes excelente la idea del museo tenes todas las cosas que armaste muy bueno aparte no se te llena de polvo gran trabajo te mando un abrazo grande felicitaciones
Nice one. However, I notice you didn't say anything about the pretty girl mentioned on the instruction sheet, next to the bit where it says 'We want you to be pleased'. I was thinking 'That part of the unboxing/unwrapping is going to be REALLY interesting' -- but no. On the other hand, maybe if kids are going to be watching your channel... Perhaps best not to show that part, then.
Not a bad job! The design of the cabinet itself is a bit questionable, the better-quality ones I've seen typically have two different depths of channel for the glass to run in, a deep top channel and shallow bottom one (or, alternatively, plastic balls in the bottom channel to provide smooth sliding, particularly if the channels are extruded aluminium). This is so you can lift the glass up and out of the bottom channel, then angle it out of the frame while it's still assembled. Trapping the glass (and shelves!) like this is asking for trouble in my opinion. But I guess that gives the manufacturer differentiation between the £50 version and the £100 version for a paltry 50p in materials.
I fixed a 2"x1" batten below my Train Display cabinet. I fixed that onto the wall first because it was easier to get level, and it gave the cabinet something to rest on whilst doing the rest of the fixing; and so that the stresses were spread out rather than just in couple of screw-points. Maybe consider that next time.. You'll want another cabinet..
You could have glued a wooden batten behind the plasterboard. It would have done the job. It's nice to see all your endeavours safely displayed. When you display them you realise just how much you've learned, made, and proved works.
Shame they don't drill a series of holes in the sides for choice of shelf heights! I added a fifth shelf to get 6x OO stock, having drilled all new holes. Two wood colours available if you don't like black & white !!
Ilove your videos so much it make me happy seeing a blue point under you chanel picture ...(that mean a new video😐) in ihope to see you make som new comptition engin vs engin video💖💖💗💗💗💓💓💞💕💕💗💗💖💖❤
I think the ugly engine & the tango should go in. A. That means you can make a group for all the christmas stuff and B. It's not like you were gonna use the tango anyways
What about that loco from the loco from the £7 train set that you modified to have a tender with electrical pickups, or the loco you have a cutout of just above the museum?
So anything that goes into the Museum won't come out during a livestream... far be it from me to suggest you might want to put the egg vans in there... ;)
Could you possibly put the test print of the Manning Wardle body onto a flat wagon/conflat and couple it behind the final printed one? It would add a nice touch.
Now we need a shed in your front garden so we can come visit the museum! Looks lovely, a nice array of engines. Well done!
haha fantastic idea - Sam's Shed!

I'm pretty sure it deserves a spot...in the scrapyard- give the Scrapman some light.

That's good to hear Robert - this definitely does the job... and it takes up almost no room too! :D

Awesome display piece to put your locomotives inside along with pieces of track for the locomotives to be in to make the display look even better! 👍
Thank you! I'm very happy with it! :D

That's very interesting Andrew - so it was purpose built for trains? Cool!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Not bad display units - frequently reduced down to about £35! Then go crazy at about £90! - shelves are a bit flimsy and sag after a while though
If you still have it, you should put the old Heljan train that went under water along with it’s freight cars.
That's a really cool project there! I certainly empathise with the eternal dust struggle. Great video as always!
haha thank you - yeah it's a bugger isn't it? Get a leaf blower is my advice... and then vacuum the floor after use! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Why did you make it on the floor Sam? Martin. (You Know Where)
:D make the best videos
boys wondered what are all those trains in the background could you video about world is trans in the background

It was great to see some of the experiment engines again!

Will Bullman go in the cabinet?
Wow, looks amazing, might have to do the same.
Thank you! I can recommend it - very enjoyable, and the results are good too! :D

Thanks so much for the comment Miguel! :D
This thumbnail looks great so I'm gonna guess these are great
Thanks so much Miller! :D
Wow congrats Sam on the display. :)
Thank you! :D
You can put bullman on top
Cooking broths, 3D printing and building cabinets, what can't you do Sam? You are so talented. 😊
haha yeah - I can add building cabinets to the short list! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wear 3d glasses lol, that's the one thing he can't do
Would it be possible to donate some vehicles or something
That's very very kind of you, but it's all full up as you can see! :O
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
was a maybe you should put the Harry Potter train in there to
Maybe!! That is pretty special! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I can't wait to see miles randomly moving in a video/livestream because the solar panels create enough electricity to move
haha thankfully they do need full sunlight and all 4 panels before he moves.... so it should be okay!!

Ive overloaded mine with Hornby Thomas locos and now all the shelves are bowed and the glass door keeps falling out. Probably had 20 locos on it 🤦🏻♂️
I fixed a 2"x1" batten below my Train Display cabinet.

You could have glued a wooden batten behind the plasterboard. It would have done the job. It's nice to see all your endeavours safely displayed. When you display them you realise just how much you've learned, made, and proved works.
A challenge: how about producing a 3-d printed version of Bullman? 2 copies - one for the museum, and one for when you run your 3-d creations?
Shame they don't drill a series of holes in the sides for choice of shelf heights! I added a fifth shelf to get 6x OO stock, having drilled all new holes.
Two wood colours available if you don't like black & white !!
Can you review the hornby car transporter
Sounds awesome - I could look into that some time! :D

I think the ugly engine & the tango should go in. A. That means you can make a group for all the christmas stuff and B. It's not like you were gonna use the tango anyways
ive heard of tempered glass, but a "temperped glass" cabinet is new to me
haha where did it say that?! haha!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains on the right-hand glass panel, it says temperped glass in the bottom right
Sam's trains I challenge you to 3D print the world's longest HO scale bogie coach
Put little nameplates on the front of shelves!
You could even try brass etching if feeling fancy...
i think the Hornby Thomas should be there since it was discontinued on April 2018
I think one locomotive that was an early staple of the channel was a 56xx named Max I believe. I wonder where he got off to.
What about that loco from the loco from the £7 train set that you modified to have a tender with electrical pickups, or the loco you have a cutout of just above the museum?
So anything that goes into the Museum won't come out during a livestream... far be it from me to suggest you might want to put the egg vans in there... ;)
Hi Sam I wonder if speedy Pete is stronger than you strongest locomotive that you did not build.
Sam, you're the Professor Heinz Wolff of the model railway world!
The tango belongs in the museum due to it being infamous on the channel, and it going for a swim. Frankenstein schools class should too,
I think another 3d printed engine like Gladstone would be well worth ur time , i highly recommend u doing another
unrelated question will you ever buy a southeast network livery diesel or dmu because that is my favorite livery for diesels.
Could you possibly put the test print of the Manning Wardle body onto a flat wagon/conflat and couple it behind the final printed one? It would add a nice touch.
3:30 "I bet no one will complain that I'm doing this on the carpet." This is so funny lol
Mallard and flying scotsman deserve a spot in the museum of Sam,s trains
Now you can see all of your beutifull locos
haha yeah!! I love this cabinet - wish I had more to display more engines! :D

Hey Sam, i have a Challage for you! Can you try and make a pacific with the 3D Printer?
As my Dad used to say to me when I was using a hammer, "Don't touch it up, hit it" 😁
Great video Sam
Thank you Joe! :D
Hobeslty I'd say the tango should go in there on the basis that it's probably the world's most abused model locomotive
A suggestion for a engine to go into the museum the custom lbsc hornby Thomas if you still have it
You should put the BR Blue Merchant Navy in your museum
How about the two tender Frankinstin locomotive experiment?
Hey Sam your little hammer was not doing the job because you need to hold the hammer more to the end
You could put your first ever loco in ( if it's not in service on your layout or you have got rid of it )
Next season on Salvage or Scrap! Sam's old experimental locos!
Very nice! Surprised how much you're posting now.
Im thinking of one for my 34 A4s not sure about weight limit though
I think a good one would be the GWR mogul from your April Fools?
Another locomotive should be the locomotive that ran underwater
Great videos . Video idea love you to do tour if rail's of Sheffield new shop
What a brilliant idea, nice to see them taking pride of place on the wall!
I loved the more comedic side of the video as well!
Great video Sam!
Thank you!! Thought this could have been a bit dull otherwise... so decided to clown around a bit ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Forgot the name of what it was called but definitely put the small red engine there
I hope no one lives in that other room you keep drilling through to! :)
I think you should add the two engines that ran underwater to the museum
This is going to get interesting. (I also watched your first ever video)
Looks good can’t wait for more 3d printed models
Thank you! Got more in the works! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi sam I hope you're ok
It is nice to most of the things you have made
Good to see Speedy Pete again. I've missed seeing that one. =3
swap miles and reindeer around so coach can fit on tracks :D
Reminds me of your O gauge layout creation
I tthought i hear you say Viewseum, a better term for your museum?
does the motor still run on speedy pete and on the fan vehicle?
Having a glass cabinet to display your is very professional
good vid sam thanks lee
